Simon & Schuster Walkerswood Caribbean Kitchen

Disappointed with the recipes expecting a few more to my taste. Many of the ingredients proved difficult to find and not being au fait with them I could not improvise.

This is my second copy of a very good West Indian cook book. As a foodie and cook, I used this book to do a three day workshop some years ago for teaching young mothers to cook. They absolutely loved it and that included young women of all races. We cooked the curry goat dish, rice and peas, festival, escovitch fish and the tastes were so rich and flavourful. The festivals are particularly yummy and better than some West Indian take away made. If you want to impress family and friends this is the recipe book to do it. Only one thing withstanding some of the ingredients have to be Walkerswood which is unfortunate if you don't have access to their food products in your area. I own a few of Levi Roots books and compared to his Curry Goat recipe which I tried and was disappointed with Walkerswood is far superior, authentic and proportionate in the right ingredients.

Second copy of this book I’ve purchased. Classic Caribbean dishes with great photos and simple recipe instructions...... for those West Indian connoisseurs- you can always adjust and add as you see fit.

OK; my daughters family is from Walkers wood in Jamaica so bought for sentimental reasons more than for the recipes.

A must for jerk lovers and those who love jamaican food Walkerswood is he best jerk marinade too
